So the search for the truth and the investigating the obstruction of justice by DOJ is charged to do is a turn off for Indies? Are these Indies American citizens elegible to vote; and, if so, why not identify as Americans now?

The average voter that does not follow politics as closely as those on this board will see Obama's actions of invoking Executive Privilege as an attempt to cover up wrong doings regardless of whether or not that is the case. So yes, this will have an impact upon the election. At the end of the day, voters want to trust their President and this will hurt Obama in capturing the trust of the electorate.

The "most transparent administration" ads are going to kill him.

That is correct, it will be the known felons and the members of the Mexican drug cartels that the Obama administration intentionally sold guns and grenades to while making it a policy NOT to track same weapons once they were sold.

Racist? Do you realize that people of all races will die as a result of how the Obama administration, on the watch of AG-Holder, conducted Operation Fast & Furious?

Racist is not being outraged knowing that these guns will eventually end up in the inner cities of the USA in the hands of drug dealers and gang members. Racists is refusing to acknowledge that Obama/Holder are actively enabling more black on black violent crime in their rabid obsession to undermine the RKBA and the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.

N ah. This won't affect the election. Those who would vote for BamaBoy anyway get their news from the likes of Andrea Mitchell and Mr. Ed.

I really can't imagine this changing anyone's mind.

The Obama administration, realizing that the documents would directly implicate HIM, made a political decision that use of "executive priveledge" to bail Holder out of going to jail would be better than the both of them in jail.

The Obama admin will definately go down in history as the most corrupt and inept presidency. How long before the election? Will Obama allow free elections?
I say Obama has to find some way to cause him to declare martial law so he can keep the election from happening. How many on this thread would accept that when, and if it happens?

These guys get all their news about today from the Big Three, ABC, CBS and NBC. Earlier I heard Hannity say that NBC had spent a whole 30 seconds on a story about today's news. They need to use more truthful sources but are afraid of what that may do to them.

I was willing to let this thread stay if it stayed on the topic of how F&F would influence the electin. However, that is not all that is being discussed.

There is a thread in P&OC main forum to discuss everything about F&F.
